Fukrey 3, Jawan and Mission Raniganj Show Massive Gains At The Box Office On National Cinema Day

Fukrey 3, Jawan and Mission Raniganj were the most preferred movie options for this special day. While it is too tight to call, the estimates suggest that Fukrey 3 on its third Friday led the charge, closely followed by Jawan on its sixth Friday and then Mission Raniganj.on its second Friday. Fukrey 3 and Jawan have netted around Rs 5.25 - 5.5 crores a piece while Mission Raniganj looks to have collected Rs 4.75 - 5 crores. In terms of gain percentage from yesterday, clearly, Jawan showed the most gain and it is likely that from Saturday, Jawan will have the upper edge over the other two films. To note, Jawan was the most preferred option in top 3 national chains while Fukrey 3 was preferred in other national chains and non national chains. Jawan collected Rs 3.1 crores in PVR, Inox and Cinepolis, Fukrey 3 collected Rs 2.8 crores and Mission Raniganj collected around Rs 2.60 crores. On the other hand, in MovieMax, Rajhans and other chains, Fukrey 3 was the most preferred movie option, followed by either Jawan or Mission Raniganj. Jawan's total collections have gone past Rs 560 crores nett for the Hindi version in 37 days. Fukrey 3 has collected over Rs 80 crores in 16 days and Mission Raniganj has collected Rs 22.75 crores in 8 days. Of the 3 films, Mission Raniganj is the only film that was rejected by the audience (in the first week). However, the gains that the film has gotten thanks to National Cinema Day can give it the much needed momentum that it was looking for. There is a possibility that the second week matches the first week.
